Pro Tips for Protecting Your Hands
- Turn Down the Heat: I know a steaming hot shower or sink full of hot water feels wonderful on chilly evenings, but hot water strips away your skin’s natural protective oils much faster than lukewarm water.
- Pat, Don’t Rub: When drying your hands, gently pat them with a soft towel. Rubbing can cause micro-tears in the delicate skin, especially as we get older.
- Moisturize Immediately: The best time to apply lotion or oil is within 3 minutes of drying your hands, while the skin is still slightly damp, to trap that hydration inside.
